Abstract:
There is always a certain purposefulness of natural sounds: the sound of
breaking waves manifest the conditions on the sea, the sound of striking
thunder marks the dangers of a storm, birds’ singing is their way of
communication. These sounds make worldly sense as they inform all
perceptible beings about their surroundings, about the momentary conditions
of the world. Accordingly, sounds of nature are limited in scope (an
assertion that may be challenged by environments such as native jungle,
though a different register of perception could be expected there), to the
extent that when we happen to be in spaces empty of anthropogenic sounds,
our experience might be very close to an experience of silence.
Humans, on the contrary, produce a lot of noise polluting our earthly
surroundings. This noise is often wasteful; it doesn’t communicate anything
specific that we need for a better orientation in the world. Continuous
passing of cars in front of my window, the monotonous noise of a machine,
the drilling and hammering of endless construction sites consume time
repeating the same futile message over and over again.
In Anthropocene, it is not only noise that is wasteful this way: it’s also
light, energy water or oxygen. Through the continuous decrease of,
especially animal, diversity, human noise becomes hegemonial. In urban
spaces, the declining presence of singing, cawing and quacking birds
constitutes perhaps the most noticeable change in this respect, one of the
reasons for which is anthropogenic harm to birds’ migratory routes.
I argue that phenomenology as an attentive style of thinking helps us to
notice the scale of the problem, which is the condition of possibility for
action and change. In doing this, I reach to different ecophenomenological
readings of Merleau-Ponty, ecophenomenologies of sound, and descriptive
studies of birds’ migration.

Dear all,
we hope that you had a great start into the new semester!
We are happy to announce the date, time and venue for the next UPSalon
Stammtisch: Tuesday, 28.4.2026, 19:00 at Café Weingartner
(Goldschlagstraße 6).
UPSalon are a group of students, doctoral and post-doctoral researchers
at the department of philosophy; the initiative aims at creating a space
and community in Vienna where underrepresented philosophers - such as
women, trans, inter and non-binary persons, BIPOC, socioeconomically
disadvantaged people, queer people, and people with disabilities - can
connect on a regular basis at events and informal gatherings.
We are looking forward to resuming the conversations we had at our last
meeting in March, and are happy about new people who want to join.
We also want to remind you that our second event of next semester, the
Trans*Formations talk by Luana Pesarini, will take place on Thursday,
30.4., 18:00-19:30 at HS 3A, NIG. Please find the event description
below and the poster attached.
Looking forward to seeing you there too!
With all the best,
UPSalon

Dear All,
we want to cordially invite you to the next Trans*Formations Event at
the Philosophy Institute.
For those who do not know the series: This talk and workshop series
organized by a bunch of people from the Philosophy Department (BA, MA
and PhD) provides insights into recent developments in trans*
philosophizing. Thanks to the Vienna Doctoral School of Philosophy (VDP)
[1] and queer@hochschulen [2] for their financial support!
In the next talk, Luana Pesarini (Goethe Universität Frankfurt) will
discuss historical and contemporary theories of the neural basis of
transness, and the presuppositions these studies rely on, from a
trans/feminist science studies perspective.
The next Event will be in English!
When & Where: Thursday, 30.4.2026 - 18:00-19:30 at HS 3A, NIG
(Universitätsstraße 7)
The Trans Brain?
History and Current Hypotheses on the Neural Basis of Transness
Abstract:
Against the background of contemporary debates about the supposed
natural basis of sex/gender and the intersection of neurodivergence and
transness, the lecture will turn to the history and contemporary
theories of the neural basis of transness. Contemporary trans brain
hypotheses rest on a whole array of presuppositions: The assumption that
brains have a sex/gender; that this brain sex/gender can stand in
opposition to the sex assigned at birth; that brain sex/gender develops
in response to hormonal changes; that this development has a temporal
threshold; and that one can discern transness from a
trans-sexed/gendered brain - all of these conveyed through imaging
technologies.
To fan out the presuppositions that fuel contemporary theories of the
neural basis of transness, the lecture will trace its history through
the lens of trans/feminist science studies. Starting from theories about
the natural bisexuality and plasticity of mammals and their eugenic
interpretations at the beginning of the 20th century (Eugen Steinach,
Paul Kammerer), the lecture will move through the early hypotheses about
the neural basis of transness in the post-Second World War inception of
trans medicine in the US (John Money, Robert Stoller, Harry Benjamin),
to the first neuroimaging studies on transness in the 1990s and early
2000s, to finish with the neurodevelopmental hypothesis of transness in
contemporary neuroscience and a discussion of its impacts on the lives
of trans people.
Neuronal explanations of transness certainly do not carry the same
weight in the debates about the natural basis of sex/gender and
transness as chromosomal explanations. Incidents such as the
International Chess Federation's ban of trans women from the women's
category, the European Society of Endocrinology's considerations about
brain scans as "a useful tool for earlier identification of
transgenderism in young people," and calls from neuroscientists to
intervene in and prevent the development of transness in the brain
nevertheless illustrate the current and potentially future power of such
explanations over the lives of trans people.
Bio: Luana Pesarini is a philosophy-trained sociologist specializing in
feminist science and technology studies, theories of materiality, and
trans feminism. She is currently working as a doctoral researcher in the
German Research Foundation-funded RTG "Fixing Futures. Technologies of
Anticipation in Contemporary Societies" at Goethe University Frankfurt,
Germany.
There will be a Q&A after the talk, as well as snacks and drinks!
Please also save the date for the next Trans*Formations Events: A talk
on Law and Gender by UK barrister Jane Russell on 15.5., and a full-day
event with a focus on Gender Euphoria on 7.6. with, among others, talks
by Prof. Quill Kukla (Georgetown University) and Prof. Eric A. Stanley
(University of California, Berkeley).
We are thankful to our previous Trans*Formations speakers: Luce deLire
[3], Alyosxa Tudor [4], Eric Llaveria Caselles [5], Emelia Stanley, [6]
Emma Heaney [7], Juliana Gleeson, [8] Gen Eickers & Sigmond Richli [9],
Jonah I. Garde [10] and Anna Klieber [11]!
Please register here!! [12]
We are looking forward to seeing you at the event, and happy if you
forward this invitation to others who might be interested!
With all the best,
the Trans*Formations Team & UPSalon - A Salon for Underrepresented
Philosophers

Dear all,
You are hereby invited to the next "Physics meets Philosophy" talk
(organized in cooperation with the Institute for Quantum Optics and
Quantum Information) by
Gal Ben Porath (University of Bonn)
Title: The kinematics of indeterminism (see abstract below)
Date: April 24th (Friday)
Time: 11:00-12:30
Location: IQOQI Seminar room (Boltzmanngasse 3, 2nd floor)
Zoom link (for those that cannot join in person):
https://univienna.zoom.us/j/61334139090?pwd=OHqUQNmVwbfI9d7b80Z7k2cCXJiXNS.1
Abstract:
Discussions of determinism and indeterminism of physical theories
usually focus on properties of dynamical laws (e.g., uniqueness of
solution). This is perfectly adequate in all the usual cases.
However, when considering speculative models that seek to introduce
fundamental indeterminism into physics, such discussions are
unsatisfying. The unusual ontological roles attributed to
indeterministic changes by the authors of such models, require them to
have unusual kinematical features. I will examine these desired roles
and point to their problematic nature. I will then suggest recognizing
the occurrence of jump discontinuities as the distinguishing feature of
indeterministic kinematics and explore some consequences of such a
recognition.
